Also, my dude wrote the first poem that would spark the middle earth legendarium while in the trenches in the battle of fucking Somme, one of if not maybe the bloodiest battle of ww1, I think he was like 1 of 5 or so from his graduating class to survive the war. He knew the absolute horror of war and it affected him immensely, especially being ww1 where the fighting was pretty ficking pointless no nazis to beat or whatever. So he had an incredibly dim view on war in general.
